[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Nino, the Psychic Yordle
LORE Nino is a young, yordle boy from Bandle City who was born with unexplained psychic powers. As a baby, he constantly caused trouble in not only his house, but every single house around him. His power is immense and using his psychic powers, he could control all of the basic elements and defy the very laws of physics. Every single scientist from Piltover, especially Heimerdinger, sought out to research the baby, but the laws of Bandle City only allowed them to study the child as he grew by watching. Heimerdinger was fine with this and studied Nino without disturbing him nearly at all. Nino grew into a kid when one day a group of human graduates from the Piltover academy visited the city. He was a curious child and went to see them, for he had never talked to a human before. Upon finding them, Nino could see they weren't in any real mood to talk as they were beating up a blue yordle. He watched in horror as the yordle was bruised and beaten to a pulp. To finish it off, the humans punted the yordle off into the street from the alley they were in. The humans came running out out of the alley before they saw Nino, looking dazed at the blue yordle who had passed out. One of the humans grabbed Nino and kidnapped him. The humans snuck out of Bandle City with Nino struggling in their hands. Nino, in a fit of rage, released a burst of flames on the humans carrying him. The humans, scorched, dropped Nino and ran. He ran back to Bandle City, but noticed the blue yordle still dazed in the street. He rushed to the nearest yordle and told them about the incident. The yordle didn't believe Nino until they saw the blue yordle in the streets. The yordle tried to wake him, but the blue yordle quickly woke up and smacked at the yordle trying to wake him up before screaming about how he knew humans were a bunch of lousy jerks. THe blue yordle hobbled off into the night as Nino ran back to his home. After the incident, Nino vowed to stop humans from ever hurting his kind ever again. Nino got a red strand of silk from his mother's closet and ran off into the wild, in route to Piltover. The continent of Runeterra is big however, who knows who or what Nino might run in to on his travels.

Passive- Psychic Powers Innate: Nino's spells deal an additional 2/3/4% (+1% per 100 AP) of his target's current health as magic damage and generate a stack of Psychic Frenzy that lasts for 7.5 seconds, refreshing and stacking upon further spell casts. For every stack of Psychic Frenzy, Nino's spells restore 15/20/25 mana and his basic attacks restore 3/4/5 mana as well as causing Nino's spells to reduce the cool down of Meteor Storm by 0.3 seconds if they hit an enemy unit. This can stack up to 4/5/6 times up to a maximum of 60/100/150 mana restored per spell cast, 12/20/30 mana per basic attack, and 1.2/1.5/1.8 seconds reduced from Meteor Storm when a spell hits an enemy unit.
Ability 1- Earth Displacement Active: Nino lifts up a rock from the target piece of impassable terrain and holds into the air above himself for up to 1.5 seconds. He can reactivate this ability to lob it at the target point, dealing 70/110/150/190/230 (+65% AP) magic damage and slowing enemies hit by 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% for 1.25 seconds. If Nino does not reactivate this ability early, he will leap 250 backwards and then lob the rock down at the area where he used to be, dealing 125/175/225/275/325 (+105% AP) magic damage and stunning enemies hit for 0.5 seconds. Cost: 65/70/75/80/85 mana Cool Down: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 sec. Pick Up Range: 350 Throw Range: 750 Throw AoE Radius: 200 Drop AoE Radius: 225

Enemies hit by Flame Burst within the last 3 seconds will also be slowed by 55% for 0.75 seconds, decaying very rapidly over the duration. Cost: 40/45/50/55/60 mana Cool Down: 2.5/2.25/2/1.75/1.5 sec. Range: 475
Ability 3- Wind Rush Active: Nino causes the wind to blow at extreme speeds, blowing him to the target location, dealing 60/100/140/180/220 (+65% AP) magic damage. Enemies at Nino's original position when Nino was sent flying in the target direction are dealt 50% damage and launched 50% of the distance Nino was pushed in the direction he was pushed. Cost: 55 mana Cool Down: 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 sec. Range: 425 Travel Speed: 1000/1750/2500/3250/4000 Launch With Nino Range: 200
Ultimate- Meteor Storm Active: After channeling for 5.5 seconds, during which a warning is displayed to enemies across the map in a golden line, Nino fires a horde of meteors to crash down from one side of the map to the other in a thick line, crossing through his current position. The meteors fall fast and hard, dealing 225/295/365 (+90% AP) magic damage and leaving a trail of impassable terrain behind across the line across the entire map that lasts for 4/5/6 seconds. However, Nino and his allies can pass through the terrain while enemies cannot. This terrain can be used for Earth Displacement. Enemies are pushed to the closest piece of passable terrain when the impassable terrain is created. Cost: 150 mana Cool Down: 130/125/120 sec. Range: Global Line of Effect Width: 375 Projectile Speed: 3000
